monitor & hdd ???

Which monitor is you have?
If it is a 1084 which model?

We will need to know which connector you will need to make.

You could put a 20Gb HD and use 4Gb of it immediatly after running HD Tools on the WB 3 HD install disk.
Workbench 3.1 and below can only support up to 4 gig (which was a lot in those days!) You will need to either upgrade to workbench 3.5/3.9 or I have heard that you can download a fastfilesystem replacement/upgrade from Aminet.

If you have the right connectors
23 pin amiga monitor connector and a 15 pin vga and some wires you can construct your own cable up very cheaply. I have done this and rigged it up to an old Acorn multisync with no probs. I should think you could do the same if you are handy with a soldering iron and don't wish to play floppy bootable games.
